      The Argyle Backpackers was found to be clean, clear, warm, and welcoming. The hostel must improve on Wi-Fi Internet, as it was terrible and unavailable most of the time. Thank you.

      It was a bit far, about twenty minutes walk from Old Town. The staff was friendly and helpful to accommodate my late check in and early check out. Facility and cleanliness was OK.
